What is it about?

Why is it important?
Non-standard translation practices (L2 translation, indirect translation and team translation) are part of the reality of most minor literatures, and this article helps exposing that reality.
Perspectives
Uncovering how translation exchanges initiate provide a better understanding of translation as a whole. This is even more important in contexts of languages of limited difussion.
